On September 10, ARISE Master Trainer Joliett Vega-Klusevsek conducted a two hour workshop for 22 Miami, Florida area YMCA group instructors. The workshop was well attended and the trainees were thrilled with the results! As Joliett mentions: “They LOVE ARISE!”
When asked what they liked most about the workshop, some of the comments we heard from the trainees were:
- The lesson plan. The training was great!
- The different ways to create a lesson plan.
- The ARISE Formula and how we got to express our own ideas. It was very helpful and gave us great ideas we can use with our own kids.
- The training was very interactive and never boring.
- The presenter was very knowledgeable in education and youth development.
- I liked how it was group oriented.
- It helped us to learn how to instruct the ARISE Life Skills curricula to our children. I believe this training would benefit any and every one that takes it.
